Two mayors, both members of Socialdemokratiet, have already said they do not intend to follow the law if it is passed, reports Jyllands-Posten.

Ole Bjørstorp from Ishøj and Steeen Christiansen from Albertslund both feel the demand is unreasonable and unconstitutional.

“I’m obliged to take into consideration the fact that we have freedom of religion in Denmark and that is the decisive factor for me,” said Bjørstorp.

Critics have pointed out that the law is yet another dig specifically at Muslims, some of whom cannot shake hands for religious reasons but greet each other by placing a hand on their heart.
